How to use

Installation of the System Security Analyzer is simple. After installation, when it is launched for the first time, it will automatically update its definition database. Once database is updated, go to the 'Configuration' tab on the Menu bar to open its configuration window.

Choose the OVAL definition as per the operating system you are using. By default four definitions are available for Windows Vista, XP and 2000, alongwith a default OVAL definition. Now, click on the 'scan' button to start scanning for vulnerabilities. Once the scan is finished, SSA will show you all the detected vulnerabilities along with its OVAL ID as well as their CVE number.


To see more details from the report menu, click on 'View HTML Report' tab. In this report you can see all the detected vulnerabilities with a brief description about them. To find further details about the vulnerability and how to fix it, click on the 'vulnerability and CVE ID' link, which takes you to its online database, where you find vulnerabilities analysis from various security agencies and the vendors.
